James Mize, works at Clovis' Valley Rod and Gun store, he says people are afraid their gun rights will be touched, with California already having some the strictest gun control laws in the nation. He believes the federal government will simply force other states to follow the Golden State.

"About 10 days ago, these shelves were full, the only ones not selling right now are the larger caliber weapons. But the 223's, 22 mags., and primer supplies are almost completely wiped out," says Mr. Mize.

As ammunition and gun sales continue to skyrocket, gun enthusiasts are waiting to see what potential changes, if any, will take place.

The President's task force is currently meeting. An announcement is expected later this month.

That would be a shame and tacit capitulation. However, I have a very string feeling that this administration is doing everything within their ability to threaten and cajole every manufacturer to conform to some artificial standard.

While in the Navy, stationed at Pensacola, I would try to shoot my 38 once a week at one of the many sand pits. After shooting, I would pick up a coffee can full of bullets that the rain brought up to the surface. I would recast them with my lyman single bullet mould. Loading target loads, and casting my own bullets, the largest expense was the primer.

People buying ammo and guns now with looming laws by the Communists are a little late to the dance. Anyone familiar with what has been going on politically the last twenty years with the RINO’s and Democrats should have been able to see this coming a mile away. All I have bought the last few years were some .45 long Colt for my SA Army.

Somehow I just can't convince myself that this is just for self protection. Maybe the framers of the Constitution meant exactly what they said. Maybe the fear of our Government is no longer supportive of it's people.

My backorder of 25 boxes of 5.56, 75 gr HPBT just came in today. Order was placed the day after Conn. school shooting to beat the crush and will probably be my last for awhile until the craziness calms down.
